8 Point Directional Movement?

by Kevin Mitchell · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 01/02/2009 (2:19 pm) · 4 replies

Anyone know if there's already a resource that removes the strife and back features of the arrow keys and just has the character always turn in the given direction and run straight?

I tried setting the keys like

$mvForwardAction = %val;
$mvYaw = 0;


$mvForwardAction = %val;
$mvYaw = 0.25;


$mvForwardAction = %val;
$mvYaw = 0.5;


$mvForwardAction = %val;
$mvYaw = 0.75;

And changing the += in the code from += to = but the screen just shakes and make me keep running forward. So before i try to reinvent the wheel is there a wheel out there already made?

I'm looking for something like this already. Did you have any luck implementing this?

@Kevin: ever get the 8-way directional movement working with advanced camera god view or orbit view?

Btw, I posted some comments here about my progress:

Currently works with Advanced Camera god mode view, but only for 0 to PI (ie, my character won't walk left).
